Scratch Blocks

In future versions of Scratch, I think you should be able to put arguments in any dropdown lists. Strangely, this already works for some blocks...

ask [Move how many steps?] and wait
move (answer) steps
...But not for others (not in the editor, anyway):
ask [Which key do you want to use to move?] and wait
forever
if <key (answer) pressed?>
move (10) steps
end
end
I know that a related query may exist, but it may not have been about ALL of the dropdowns and I have not (at time of posting) seen any changes in the editor.

Alternatively, I would like to know how I can change it in the System Browser  (if it's quick and easy). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Re: Scratch Blocks

Well, you can work around it (if up arrow key = answer, move ten steps, etc.) but this suggestion would cause confusion if the answer was something like "i liek pi", because there's no key by that name.  I don't support.  This is workaroundable for any dropdown.

Re: Scratch Blocks

Yeah, it is pretty easy to work around it.

Re: Scratch Blocks

You can add words and symbols in the answer, not just numbers. Don't support.

for example, because there's no key by that name.  I don't support.  This is workaroundable for any dropdown.

Actually,

(answer)
would have to be a number, like
broadcast (direction)

Erm... Not exactly easy though, you'd need an if for every possible key.


Tip of the whatever: Don't post in threads older than 2 weeks unless your post will actually be useful.
It's the last day of 1.4! *cries* (quote from NeilWest, rest by me) by the time you read this it probably will be 2.0  sad
